I'm talking to my cat
about the aches of my heart
how I have fallen in love
with a man
afraid of causing ripples
rightly so..I justify
I lie but sometimes that's all
we can do to keep the peace
with reality
I tell my cat
how the hurt gapes
into a wound both sweet and bitter
she has lost interest in my thoughts
and tried to kill a small moth
strutting around my night light
